Question for you guys, do you feel the heel in your viberg's..meaning on the pair I have(used so I realize this may be the reason) I can feel the left heel stack and exactly were it ends on the sole...I do not really feel this so much on the right boot...it is not painful but very odd to me as no other boot I own has such a distinct feel to it.

Funny you mention this. I feel something in my left heel as well. Not the right, only the left. It's started to get more noticeable as they break in. I never knew what it was but I felt it more than normal yesterday on an hour long hike in the snow.

I am new to the forum, I stumbled across the forum on my search for Viberg boots. I am hoping that you can help me with a few questions.

As far as sizing goes, I typically wear a size 7.5US in all shoes and boots. I have several Frye and Alden boots and Florscheim's all of which are size 7.5. I have a standard to narrow width and low volume foot.

I am thinking of purchasing a SERVICE BOOT SMOKE REVERSE KUDU or a service boot color 8 from BCC, however they only offer full sizes. Should I purchase a 7 or 8, or should I try to order directly from Viberg so that I can get a 7.5?

Thank you all for your input, I greatly appreciate it. Regarding the 1035 last used for the smoke reverse kudu, where would that last fall in Meso's diagram? Btw, the diagram helped substantially. Thank you!

The 1035 is just roomier/rounder in the toe.
Otherwise still fits the same around the heel. It's the closest fitting last to the 2030.

Bucket13, what model or last is the Alden boot you referenced in your 1st post. I think that will help you narrow down what boot/last in viberg is best for you and what size. I think with your std to narrow width foot any boot in 110 last would be out, maybe a 2030 last boot would be the best fit.

If you share the Alden boot style and last that will help people narrow down the options.

good luck

I have the Black Alden Indy boot, which fits pretty well in a size 7.5 US.

meso, what would you suggest, as far as sizing and ordering? I can be impulsive, so a voice of reason would be appreciated. I have no way of trying them on before purchasing and figured I'd have to jump right in.

Also, by risk, do you mean with being unable to get the right size? Or returning? Or both?

I would also get a 7.5 like meso recommended if you wear a 7.5 in Alden Indys.

I've read about a lot of guys on this forum who have ordered size 7.5, and to me that seems odd. I am the only person that I know who regularly wears a size 7.5. Because of this l assumed I would need the smallest size offered.
